  • Sundar C and Vishal reunite for their fourth film, titled Purushan.

Director Sundar C and actor Vishal are getting ready to work together again. This will be their fourth time working together after successful projects like Madha Gaja Raja, Ambala, and Action. The title of their most recent action movie is Purushan, which is Tamil for "Husband."

A striking 5-minute and 41-second promo was released to announce the title, giving viewers a good idea of the movie's genre and treatment. The first scene shows Tamannaah Bhatia's character watching a TV show. Yogi Babu plays the main character in the soap opera, and he is also her neighbour in the story.

Vishal plays her husband, who is first shown as a quiet, obedient man who takes care of the housework. The story takes a sharp turn when he goes into the kitchen to make tea for his wife. Yogi Babu's character walks into the house, and then a group of men suddenly and violently attack Vishal.

Next up is a fast-paced action scene that takes place inside the house. Vishal's character fights back hard to keep his wife from knowing what's going on. He kills the attackers and gets rid of the bodies before she notices anything is wrong. The intense scene, which is full of dark humor, sets the tone for the action-comedy film and ends with the title reveal, Purushan.

Sundar C wrote and directed the movie, and ACS Arun Kumar made it. Hiphop Tamizha is back with the director to write the music, and Venkatt Ragavan is in charge of the script and dialogue. Roger is in charge of editing, and Gopi Amarnath is in charge of photography. The project should start soon.

The announcement of Purushan is interesting because it comes after Sundar C left Thalaivar173, which he had originally agreed to direct. It is said that the director left because of scheduling conflicts. After that, Cibi Chakravarthy, who directed Don, was brought in to direct the Sivakarthikeyan-starring film, which was co-produced by Kamal Haasan.

Vishal is also getting ready to direct his first movie, Magudam, which is a big deal for him. Vishal is now in charge of the project after creative differences with Ravi Arasu, who was supposed to direct it. People say the movie is a gritty gangster action drama, and Vishal plays three different roles.
